Garry Starr
Classic Penguins
Winner Best Comedy Perth Fringe World 2025
Winner Malcolm Hardee Million Quid Award 2024 Edinburgh Fringe
Literature! Literature! Literature! It might not rhyme with anything but it’s still very important. Garry Starr is back and he’s hell-bent on saving books from extinction by performing every Penguin Classic novel ever written. In an hour. Mostly naked (but with flippers).
Comic wunderkind Garry Starr takes us on a literary adventure through the world’s most iconic works of fiction. From The Little Prince to Moby Dick and everything in between, nothing is safe from being lampooned with the utmost nincompoopery.
‘Brilliantly ticklish… joyfully silly.’ ★★★★ The Guardian (UK)
‘Ingenious… a very funny man who is peculiarly averse to wearing trousers.’ ★★★★★ The Scotsman (UK)
‘Making you laugh so hard that you rip a hole in time and space.’ ★★★★★
